Regarding the New Railroad Link
From Meriden to Waterbury.
MERIDEN. Conn, June 30.-The adjourned
hearing before the railroad commissioners
regarding the layout of the Meriden and
Waterbury railroad occurred here to-day.
Colonel II. B. Graves, of Litchfeld, appear
ed and examined several prominent citizens
of Waterbury in favor of grade crossing at
Baldwin street in their city. No one appear
ing to contest the matter, the commissioners
decided to allow grade crossing at that
point The officials of the Consolidated and
Me1iden and Waterbury roads, together with
their respective chief engineers, consulted on
the matter of the latter's crossing the for
mer's tracks, and came to an amicable settle
ment. The new road Is to span the main
line of the Consolidated at Meriden, nineteen
feet above the road grade, the span to be
four rods in length. The same is true of the
spanning of the Naugatuck in Waterbury.
The span of the New Haven and Northamp.
ton road is to be forty feet wide. A few
minor changes may be made in the grade
crossings, but practically the roads layout
is granted as it now appears.

NO AWARDS YET.

The Citizens Committee and SeIectmen
Meet Jointly But no Not Award the
Contract for the Erection of the New
AlmshOuse-Mr. Tracy. the Lowest
Bidder, COrrects Statements About
His Sub-COntractOr.
The citizens committee on the erection of
new almshouse and the members of the
board of selectmen met in the town agents
Office at o'clock yesterday afternoon. It
was an adjourned meeting held for the pur-
pose of awarding the contracts for the cree
ton of the new $500, 900 almshouse.
Judge Luzon B. Morris, one of the trustees
of the old town farm and a member of the
citizens committee, presided and promptly
called the meeting to order. Clerk White
read the minutes of the last meeting, after
which member OF the firm of Tracy Bros
of Waterbury, the lowest bidders, requested
hearing. It was granted and Mr.. Tracy
told how he had come to make his bid. He
attended the town meeting held at Loomis
Wednesday afternoon and he saw there was
sentiment prevailing to give the contracts
only to local bidders. He referred to state
ment which had been rumored about to the
effect that a Mr.. Gaffney, the firms sub
contractor on the masonry, could not do
competent work for the amount bid, He
denied this in toto and said it was inspired
for malicious purposes. He showed
letters from Generals Couch, Smith
and Watson, which complimented
Mr.. Gaffney very highly on good work done
for the State. Mr.. Gaffney did the masonry
work on the armories at Bridgeport, Water
bury and New London. After Mr.. Tracy
had finished his statement Attorney Alling
made few remarks. By practical instruc-
ton and surrounding circumstances, said he,
1 can't see but what it must be perfectly
clear to the gentlemen that the lowest re-
sponsible bidder, no matter whether he re-
side in the city or not, should have the con-
tract. 1t is for the committee to decide of
course whether or no Tracy Brothers are re-
sponsible, and there is not the least doubt in
my mind but what they are. I will leave it
to the committee to decide, however. Clerk
White was then requested to read the origi-
nal vote on the erection of a new almshouse.
At this juncture Chairman Morris said
that one member of the citizens committee
and one member of the board of selectmen
were absent.
Harmanus M. WEIGH thought it was neces-
sary to have full board.
President Dawson, of the Water company,
thought the award ought not to take place
until all the members of the board were pres
ept and be given an opportunity to express
their views.
He moved that the meeting stand adjourn
ed until next Tuesday afternoon. An amend
ment was offered substituting Wednesday
afternoon at 4 D. m. This was carried.

chiefs and every article of wearing apparel

THE sUCCESsORsHIP.
The Vacant Presidency of Wesleya


The Vacant Presidency of Wesleyan
University.
By the retirement of President Beach from
the head of Wesleyan university arises the
question as to the successor and will cause
of course some considerable discussion. 1t
is understood that the choice is most likely
to fall upon the Rev. DR.. George E. Reed,
pastor of Trinity M. E. church of this city.
DR.. Reed is graduate of Wesleyan and is
possessed of qualities that endear him to all
young people with whom he comes in con-
tact. It is understood that Bishop Foss and
most of the leading Methodists in the New
York East conference favor the selection of
Dr. Reed. The salary of President Beach
was So, 500.
A committee of seven was appointed to
present at future meeting of the trustees
the name of a successor to President Beach
J. M. Van Week, the senior professor of the
university, was elected acting president until
a successor was chosen.
President Beach (who was formerly pastor
of the First M. E. church of this city, made
a statement on retiring showing that the col
lege has been in high state of prosperity I'M
der his presidency.

A BURST OF PASSION.
Pallidon1a Gets Enraged at Hearing a
Witness Testify.

PalItdon1a Gets Enraged at Hearing a
Witness Testify.
BRIDGEPORT, June 3G.-Philip Pal1idonia,
the italian who murdered his brother, was
taken before Justice Burr in Fairfield We'd
nesday, and was bound over to the Superior
court. The prisoner, usually cool and re-
served, burst into fury at the hearing as
one of the Italians testified to seeing the
murder committed. Pallidonia shouted
fercely at the witness, and made an effort to
get out of his chair and attack him. A
deputy sheriff on each side held him down,
but had he been unrestrained and provided
with weapon the witness would doubtless
have suffered. After this outburst of anger
the prisoner kept quiet during the rest of the
hearing, and was even in good natured
mood by the time the officers returned him
to Jail. When arrested in Albany he put his
hand to his hip pocket with the evident in
tention of drawing his revolver, but the of
feer had anticipated some such move and was
too quick for him.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film of
magnesia vain1y Disgusting its bitter
ness; and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums'' - the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
J. T. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: "Ayer's Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
be made that viii at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DR.. George E. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.

arations. The public having once used
